Crossed the rainbowbridge 23 september 2024 15 years old. Henk (Hinke) was her name. I miss her already.

A girl on tiktok said: A grown male photographer at a baby shower came up to me and said “your daughter is going to break dudes hearts in college you gotta watch her” …. My 8 year old daughter. My response was and I break dudes now. He said I can tell she gets it from her mom. I responded sir walk away from us. The rage that comes over me in these moments. Because why is that ok?? I have already had to start teaching her about creepy people .

Ok, this was funny. Comms: We hear them but it does not appear they are hearing us. Houston copies and Reid, just to confirm, you are pushing the PTT on the radio. Mark Kelly: Oh! They're asking, are you actually pushing the push-to-talk? Anderson Cooper: That's something I would say to my mom.

🚨Update: The Iranian delegation will NOT allow Vice President JD Vance and his team a photo-op with them. No direct talks, both groups will be in separate rooms, with Pakistan mediating. There is no trust left.

This is what the Trump administration is trying to turn the Chama and Carson National Forest into: uranium-mining pits. Who stands with me in saying “hell no” to letting the Trump administration sell off our public lands to the highest bidder?

Melania said she met her husband at a New York City party in 1998. Just to be clear, she actually met Marla Maples’ husband at a New York City party in 1998.

That’s what I thought.

The new acronym describing Trump's failure as a president : "TOFU" (Trump Only Fucks Up). Please don't share. He might get upset... 😏

Orion’s crew and service module have separated. The crew module continues on its path towards Earth while the service module will harmlessly burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis II return trajectory is designed to ensure any remaining debris does not pose a hazard to land, people, or shipping lanes.

Imagine being a flat earther right now… “Bro just show us live streaming video from space, that’ll prove it!” NASA: “Say less.” beams down crystal-clear 4K live feed of the ISS soaring over a spinning blue marble with actual weather systems moving in real time Flerfs: “FAKE! CGI! It’s all AI-generated in a basement! The clouds are looping! Globe propaganda! Wake up sheeple!!1!” Bro… you demanded live video. They gave you live video. And your only response is to scream “deep state holograms” while hiding under a tinfoil hat made from expired Hot Pockets wrappers. Gotta Lie to Deny The Earth is visibly curving, rotating, and looking suspiciously not flat… but sure, keep telling yourself it’s all a $400 billion conspiracy just to trick you specifically. Meanwhile the rest of us are out here living in 2026, not 1526. Stay losing, flerfs. 😂🌍

William Barr's father Donald Barr was headmaster of New York's Dalton School. In 1973, he hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach math and physics. Epstein had no college degree. He was 20 years old. His connections to Manhattan's wealthy elite began at Dalton.

Iran’s delegation to the Islamabad Talks is made up of four men with doctorates: - Dr. Ghalibaf (Speaker of Parliament) - Dr. Araghchi (Foreign Minister) - Dr. Ahmadian (Secretary of the Defense Council) - Dr. Hemmati (Central Bank Governor) The US delegation is made up JD Vance, a failed author, Steve Witkoff, Trump’s gold buddy and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. None of them have the technical range to negotiate complex nuclear issues.

OH MY GOD WHAT A SHOT

So the problems on this mission were: - broken toilet - Outlook not working - unable to pair a Bluetooth device - communication with a vessel that's 20m away

If you're a Trump-aligned supporter throwing shade at Swalwell, you damn well better speak up right now about Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. ms.now/news/labor-sec…

🔥🔥 @IAmPoliticsGirl ate @NoahCRothman up “Can you let me speak for 1 frickin’ second, bro? - $50 billion, thousands of civilians, 13 🇺🇸 soldiers… People hate us now. He said we'd destroy an entire civilization. That doesn’t make you a good negotiator. It makes you psychotic.”

In November she will be able to head to Luxembourg all she wants.

SDNY and the FBI have informed DOJ they uncovered more than one million additional documents potentially related to the Epstein investigation. The DOJ is receiving and reviewing them now. 3.5 million pages have already been released to the public. Millions more remain.

I respectfully disagree. I think these sorts of details are popular among men just getting into tailored clothing because they're a cheap way to supposedly make a shirt look expensive. But, like contrast-colored buttonholes, they often detract from an outfit because they become a distracting focal point, rather than adding to a coherent whole. Plus, these things are typically made on machines that bang these out in seconds — there's no craft to it at all. There are rare exceptions. Marc Lauwers is a French bespoke shirtmaker who has worked for all of the top-end bespoke tailoring firms in Paris, including Charvet, Lanvin, and Francesco Smalto. Nowadays, he operates under his own banner. After making you a fully bespoke shirt, he can add a hand-embroidered monogram on your garment, if you wish. This includes a true monogram, not a cipher, which is often mistaken for monograms online. A monogram is a design where two or more letters have been placed in such a way that they share common elements, such that you can't remove one letter without making the entire design nonsensical. In slide one, we see a true monogram. Notice that you can't remove the A or the B without ruining the other letter. The Louis Vuitton logo (LV) is an example of a cipher. In slide two, we see a cipher that Lauwers hand-embroidered on one of @RJdeMans's shirts (author of the wonderful book Swan Songs, which is about the rapidly disappearing world of craft-based French luxury). You can tell the difference between a handmade vs machine-made "monogram" by flipping the shirt over. If you see extra fabric on the underside of the "monogram," it was likely machine-made, as this material is used to stabilize the shirt fabric as the machine needle rapidly applies the detail. IMO, if you must get a shirt monogram, it looks best at the bottom rib, as shown in the third slide. This is where high-end shirtmakers historically placed monograms for clients (look up photos of Cary Grant, Vittorio De Sica, Humphrey Bogart, Alain Delon, and Ronald Reagan). Since men during this time often kept their jackets on, the monogram was rarely seen. Why not add these fun details in more conspicuous places? Two reasons. First, I think men are prone to "jazzing" a tailored outfit with these little doodads when they should focus more on fit and silhouette. We can think of Sec. Pete Hegeseth, who wears his dark worsted suits with a USA flag belt, USA flag pocket square, fun socks, contrast buttonholes, bracelets, and all sorts of other things. Instead of focusing on all these pieces of "flair," he should see a new tailor. When the fit and silhouette are good, you don't need this stuff. Second, adding them can sometimes detract from an outfit. In the fourth and final slide, we see a beautifully dressed King of Spain. Notice where your eye is drawn in that photo. The cynosure of a tailored outfit is the V-shaped section formed by the jacket's front edge, the shirt, and the necktie (if you're wearing one). This leads the viewer's eye up to your face, making you the center of attention. In this way, you are wearing the outfit, not the other way around. These are not hard and fast rules. The other week, I had dinner with a tailor who wore a charcoal chalkstripe suit with black penny loafers and a gold bracelet reminiscent of Cartier's Santos (the gold bracelet version, not the watch). My eyes naturally darted to his wrist, but I thought it added something to the otherwise conservative ensemble. Of course, men also wear watches and pocket squares, although I think these things are so normal, they mostly disappear from view. I would just say that you should choose these details judiciously. Online, details come into focus, as people post close-up photos of cool socks, bright bracelets, and cuff monograms. They can look great when contained with the borders of a photo. But when put into the context of an actual outfit that moves through the world, they can look a bit goofy. IMO, would be better to think first about fit and silhouette, and then how to create an outfit that works as a harmonious whole.
